[REPORTED] DCS. Spitfire mk IX. Excessive flight time inverted.
Holbeach replied to Holbeach's topic in Bugs and Problems
It would be polite to have some sort of official feedback in this bug report, even if it's only bugger off. .. -
[REPORTED] DCS. Spitfire mk IX. Excessive flight time inverted.
Holbeach replied to Holbeach's topic in Bugs and Problems
A quick flight with the Spit shows that the oil pressure still remains constant when inverted, since I last checked it in 1.5. This is incorrect. oil pressure should should drop to zero. So is this a bug, or is this intended? Without any feedback, it's not possible to know. .. -
X52 Joy_button 6 not seen by DCS World
Holbeach replied to BrzI's topic in Controller & Assignment Bugs
No. 6 is the pinkie. You have to assign it in the programmer before it will work in DCS. Open profile editor, switch to grid view. Delete the Mode 1 + Pinkie, Mode 2 + Pinkie, Mode 3 + Pinkie. Save the profile with a name and close. Enable the saved profile for DCS. .. -
Google Earth. I spend a lot of time in my, Crimea bomb range, but rarely at high level. Whilst practicing with the RN-28in in Crimea, I noticed an airbase in the background, which turned out to be the disused Novoivanivka AB. Flying higher, revealed crop irrigation circles, roads, railways etc. WOW! We have Google Earth in DCS. Is this new in 2.5, or have I just not noticed it? ..

Barber pole, man that’s a good description! But what an unfortunate solution :( Do you not operate from the Tarawa? I agree the wake effect is unacceptably bad but you’re really missing out on one of the funnest parts of flying the Harrier if you’re not utilizing the Tarawa! A check on a 3 yo video, showed those same 3 cargo ships, had rather subtle, spread out wakes, rather than the thick straight lines we have now. I wiped all the ships from my regular Crimea battleground, because they looked so bad, but.... I installed Stennis today and completed my 1st, not too shabby, vertical landing (picture below for posterity). Tarawa is waiting in the wings, when I get the hang..

Found the problem with the green glass..
Holbeach replied to toby23's topic in DCS: Spitfire L.F. Mk. IX
Yes. Put only ams FILTR into Toby mod and overwrite. You will end up with 3 files. Then use Toby mod. Glass is very light tint, with no reflections. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=215963&page=2 .. -

Mix the to 2 together. Replace GLASS_ DIFF_ FILTR....... with ams999, GLASS_ DIFF_ FILTR...... .. -
@ moonshot. Returning to DCS with the Harrier and updated to 2.5, this is the first thing I saw. Jaggy wakes, flashing like barber poles. Nothing would alter them. I'm using app control and more or less the same settings as you. My solution: Remove all moving ships as they were completely unacceptable. ..

I'll give it a try, but with the real life safe clearance (from the manual) being 5nm, it's not very realistic and neither are the instant deaths. Update: First attempt gave 9.75nm (and death), so it has potential to make the 12nm...
-
The RN-28 is about 4nm clearance required. Previous testing with ai, showed the RN-24 required 12nm. ..

I made these videos in 1.5, to show the RN-24, self destruction, bug. You can't get far enough away from it without killing yourself. I've tried it again in 2.5 and got the same result. The small RN-28 might be OK. ..

[FIXED] Green Tint and double reflections on front windscreen
Holbeach replied to Sn8ke_iis's topic in Bugs and Problems
I'm using a combination of ams999 and Toby23 mods to get it how I like it. A little more green in the tint would be nice, but many thanks to the modders for solving the problem. .. -

Less tinted Spitfire screen
Holbeach replied to ams999's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
Much better thanks. .. -
[FIXED] Green Tint and double reflections on front windscreen
Holbeach replied to Sn8ke_iis's topic in Bugs and Problems
That's a lot better. It enhances the blue sky as shown in the video instead of turning it green, which shows it to be more accurate. .. -
[FIXED] Green Tint and double reflections on front windscreen
Holbeach replied to Sn8ke_iis's topic in Bugs and Problems
Yes, you can clearly see the difference in colour. It has more of a light blue/green tint, which has no loss of forward clarity at all. -

[ATTACH]190133[/ATTACH]I have no trouble seeing through the sight glass. Your background colours are more saturated than mine. But I still think it could be toned down a little. -
As close to a real Spit as it gets
Holbeach replied to Reflected's topic in DCS: Spitfire L.F. Mk. IX
I'm glad I saw that second pic, as it shows the sight tint to be pretty much the same as mine is in game. Just right. .. -
Frustrating isn't it. That's why pilots didn't like it. It was too difficult to achieve. If the criteria isn't met exactly, when you cage, the bomb will not hit that point and therefore will not release. If you cage on the correct target hit point and you're pipper is on that point when the bomb trajectory is calculated to arrive on that point, the bomb will come off. I did a lot of runs on targets before it started to come together. Shallow dives are easier. What you don't want to be doing, is pushing forward on the stick during the dive, that is why I say trim fwd before diving and let the stick come to you This eliminates pitch porpoising. Good luck.

I don't have the Hornet, but watching a few DCS videos, shows it to have the same distinct, dark 2nd upper glass, as the Harrier. Watching this video, showed there to be, most definitely, a pink tint, but the dark 2nd screen is barely noticeable from the main screen and you can see through it clearly. The front wind screen, is also tinted. ..

Thanks. The DCS Harrier has a dark tinted top half. I want it to look like this. ..

I need the same thing for the AV 8B. I there one available? ..

I bought my pedals in May 2017, so I decided to start there, by introducing a small dead spot to the pedals, calibrate stick and disable Trackir, so there would be no input from them during replay in F2.. I used the Harrier to practice bomb and rocket runs in my 210 ai and static vehicle target range. So far so good. Subsequent replays looked good. Full 4 pod rockets on a convoy, provided a slight kill points discrepancy, but apart from that all was OK. Moved on to try VTOL. Replays were faultless, every crash was recorded perfectly. Looking good so far. ..
